Chapter 249 The Child's Future Education (4K)

After lunch that day, Chen Jingle asked Chen Qiyun, "When are your exams?"

Chen Qiyun said, "Starting next Monday."

"Next Monday...what's the date next Monday?"

Chen Jingle frowned and had to take out his phone to check the calendar.

Adults usually talk about the specific date, students only look at the day of the week, and those who stay at home look at the hour.

Oh, next Monday is the 13th.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment: "The exam starts on the 13th, so it's three days in a row?"

"Mmm." Chen Qiyun nodded.

Wow, time flies! Before we know it, another semester is about to end.

It feels like just yesterday that the semester started, and now four and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"When will the official holiday start?" Chen Jingle asked again.

Chen Qiyun thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I don't know."

Chen Jingle turned to look at Li Beixing.

"On the 18th, go back to school to get your report card, certificates, and winter break homework. After cleaning up, you can lock the classroom."

Teacher Li peeled an orange and gave half to Chen Jingle.

"It's pretty rushed." Chen Jingle opened his mouth and took it.

After feeding the oranges, Li Beixing remembered that there were other people around. She glanced at Liu Yuehua guiltily and, finding that she didn't seem to notice, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little shy.

That was purely muscle memory.

He nodded quickly and said, "A little, but the subjects that are tested early also get their results early."

As she said this, she looked at Chen Jingle with a smile in her eyes.

She had previously asked Chen Jingle to help her correct her exam papers, and he did a very good job without making any mistakes. She'll definitely ask him to help her again this time.

This is what it's like to be a female teacher's boyfriend!
"Then after the Lantern Festival, we'll go back to school?" Chen Jingle asked, completely unaware of the exploitation and oppression that was about to befall him.

Li Beixing nodded again: "Yes, put it on February 13th, just after the Lantern Festival."

This is basically the same every year.

Because there are many folk activities during the Spring Festival in Jiangbei, many people only go back to work or look for jobs after the Lantern Festival. In some more extreme areas and towns, there are even various folk activities after the first month of the lunar calendar.

This is quite unique compared to other places.

"I feel like being a teacher is better; you get so many holidays," my mom remarked from the side.

Li Beixing smiled but didn't reply, and looked at Chen Jingle.

Chen Jingle helped explain: "A few years ago, being a teacher was indeed a good career choice, but now educational concepts have changed. Many students can't even be scolded, let alone physically punished. If a child feels wronged and can't think straight, the teacher's life is over."

Moreover, there are more and more bizarre parents. Even just one or two in a class is enough to cause trouble. They think teachers should be like nannies, taking care of everything, and if a child has a problem, it's the teacher's and the school's responsibility, completely absolving themselves of any responsibility. Any teacher with a modicum of responsibility, dealing with students and parents like these, plus one or two incompetent administrators, wouldn't even have enough to cover their monthly salary for psychiatric treatment and medication.

Therefore, we can't just focus on the fact that teachers have many holidays. This profession is generally more demanding than others. Outside of first- and second-tier cities, most teachers' salaries aren't high; they're largely based on seniority, professional titles, and performance bonuses. There used to be tutoring, but that's no longer provided. In areas with tighter finances, it's common for salaries to be delayed for several months.

"Huh? Is it like this now?" Mom was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Beixing.

Not to mention their older generation's childhood, even when Chen Jingle was a child, if the students in his class caused trouble, they would be scolded, made to stand as punishment, and their parents would be called.

Admittedly, some teachers can be quite unreasonable, but to say that even reprimanding them is unacceptable is going too far.

How can I teach students like this?

Li Beixing smiled slightly: "Most of the students in the two classes I teach are fine. There are definitely some naughty ones, but I'm not their homeroom teacher, so I don't need to worry about them."

She will try her best to save some people, but if she really can't, she will respect their fate and let go of her desire to help others.

Although she is gentle and kind, she is not stupid.

Chen Jingle spread his hands: "Take Sister Xiu for example. She's a counselor at the teachers' college now. Even among adults who receive higher education, there are a lot of oddballs. They make mistakes but don't admit them and go to the leaders to complain about you. After a long time, nothing comes of it. It's a lot of trouble and effort. Not to mention ordinary primary and secondary school students and their parents."

"Like this?"

My mom felt like her worldview had been completely shattered, and she was a little bewildered for a moment.

I always hear people say how great the teaching profession is, but now it doesn't seem so great.

It's all caused by information asymmetry.

The teaching profession is really just about getting a salary, no different from other professions. In the past, you could talk about dedication, but who talks about dedication with you now?

If you encounter a well-behaved and obedient student, you can spend more time and care for them. But if they are hopeless, just let them be and make sure they don't affect others.

Let flowers be flowers, and let trees be trees.

……

Chen Jingle looked at Chen Qiyun: "How's your revision going? Are you confident?"

Chen Qiyun's eyes darted around: "It's alright."

Well, just by looking at her like this, I can tell she's been slacking off lately.

Chen Jingle has been too busy lately and hasn't had much time to pay attention to Chen Qiyun's grades. He thought that with her previous foundation, as long as she studied hard, she shouldn't do too badly.

However, he overlooked one point: children don't have strong self-control and need constant supervision from their parents. In addition, setting up certain rewards for academic achievements is necessary to motivate them to study.

All the rewards I promised Chen Qiyun have been fulfilled one after another, including the one for the last monthly exam.

Unfortunately, the last monthly exam was some time ago.

He looked at Li Beixing.

Teacher Li glanced at Chen Qiyun and said leisurely, "I haven't heard any other teachers tattle on her. She probably just hasn't started reviewing yet."

Chen Qiyun lowered her head, not daring to breathe.

Look, look, this is what happens when someone in your family is your teacher, and she even chose this sister-in-law herself.

They've shot themselves in the foot; they brought this on themselves.

Chen Jingle laughed and said, "Then I'll help you review properly these two days and the weekend, so you can get a good grade on the final exam and I'll give you more lucky money for the New Year, without telling your parents."

Chen Qiyun's eyes lit up immediately.

See? To deal with this little rascal, you have to offer a reward.

……

Chen Jingle has been tutoring Chen Qiyun for several months now, and it's safe to say he's mastered it.

Although he doesn't have a teacher's certificate or have worked in a tutoring institution, the teaching knowledge and skills he has systematically learned are not just for show.

The subjects of math, physics, and chemistry, which were relatively weaker, are now at a high school level, more than enough to help Chen Qiyun review for her junior high school exams.

As for his strengths in humanities and foreign languages, needless to say, he excels in them with ease!
However, Chen Jingle hoped that Chen Qiyun would pursue a science and engineering career in the future, since studying humanities was a dead end, especially in Nandong Province, where there was no other way out except to take the civil service exam.

Of course, we also respect her own choice.

All I can say is to provide appropriate guidance.

Currently, her interest in and grades in science subjects seem quite good. Chen Jingle should be thankful that Chen Qiyun isn't stupid; she does have a good aptitude for learning.

These days, many parents are driven to the brink of collapse while tutoring their children's homework.

The child may indeed be less intelligent and unable to learn, or the parents' teaching methods may be problematic.

Chen Jingle, having been a student himself, believes that from a child's perspective, most of the time, the problem stemmed from not paying attention in class and not reviewing the material after class, leading to a lack of knowledge.

In this situation, it becomes even more difficult to learn new knowledge that requires these prerequisites.

Over time, the number of things you don't know accumulates, and eventually you seem to become increasingly less intelligent.

It's like building a house. The foundation is well laid, and the pillars on the first floor are well-constructed, but on the second floor, two pillars are missing, and the load-bearing walls are not properly built.

In this situation, let alone building a house to five stories or more, even building a third story would be a big challenge.

The only solution is to review the previous knowledge points, fill in the missing parts, and form a complete knowledge system.

This is how Chen Jingle did it when he first started tutoring Chen Qiyun with her homework.

Take some time to review all the previous knowledge points and fill in any gaps in your understanding. If you don't understand something from the second year of junior high, go back to the first year; if you don't understand anything from the first year, go back to the elementary school material.

Only by building a solid foundation of knowledge can the road ahead be easier.

What if you can't even learn the simplest knowledge points, like those in first or second grade?
Then we need to consider whether it is a pathological factor and whether medical intervention is needed.

For example, ADHD, attention deficit disorder, and reading difficulties cannot be resolved through simple family education.

Chen Jingle had a colleague's son who had severe ADHD and had to take medication long-term.

These kinds of problems are quite troublesome.

Furthermore, people need to learn to accept the mediocrity of their parents, their own mediocrity, and the mediocrity of their children.

The biggest problem for many parents is that they expect two sparrows to produce a phoenix.

Such a probability does exist, but it is very small.

Getting angry is the most useless thing to do, let alone yelling and shouting all the time. This will only make children feel resistant and more reluctant to study.

……

Compared to Chen Qiyun, her brother Chen Jinghao is a case of failed family education.

The second uncle and aunt's family education concepts are still stuck in the previous generation. Xiu Jie's success actually has little to do with them. However, they often use Xiu Jie as an example to educate Chen Jinghao and Chen Qiyun, which is a big problem.

No one likes being compared to others, especially being belittled and scolded.

Even comparing yourself to your own older sister is not acceptable.

If it weren't for Chen Jingle's intervention, Chen Qiyun would most likely have followed in Chen Jinghao's footsteps, developed a dislike for school, and then her grades would have gotten worse and worse, leading her to enter the workforce at a young age.

It's a pity for Chen Jinghao. Although his work is okay now, it is indeed quite tiring.

Even if you replaced Chen Qiyun with Chen Jinghao and let Chen Jingle teach her, the result might be different.

It's normal for kids to be playful, and it's normal for them to like playing games.

Aspiring to become a professional esports player?

Okay!

Then let's move into the gaming industry, but we'll have to put some pressure on ourselves.

You have to play games for 15 hours every day and reach a certain win rate or rank before you can eat. You are not allowed to secretly study during this time!
Don't you like playing games?

Let me play! Play to my heart's content!
Studying? Study my ass! Playing games is what you should be doing!
Chen Jingle was even able to persuade his second uncle and aunt to ask Chen Jinghao for leave from school so that he could stay home and focus on playing games.

I'm afraid he won't want to fight.

Don't come home and touch the computer case; it'll be cold. Then check the drawers and your schoolbag; your textbooks will show signs of being read.

Oh no, the child has gotten addicted to reading again.

Not to mention, she would secretly read books under the covers in the middle of the night with a flashlight, afraid of being discovered by him, which eventually made her nearsighted.

How can I become a top esports player if things continue like this?

Should I still go to the competition to make a name for myself?
Of course, Chen Jingle is not an unreasonable person. If the game training is effective and he can reach the top ten in the national server, he can be rewarded by reading a book for a while, or he can be allowed to indulge himself and stay up all night in the library.

In the end, Chen Jinghao would always look gloomy when talking about playing games, but beam with joy when talking about reading and studying.

Well, he's ruined, this kid's ruined!

What happened to my esports dream?
However, if a child truly enjoys learning, then let him learn. Not all children are suited to playing video games; learning is also a viable path.

Those immature teenagers who shouted that they wanted to become professional esports players, after experiencing the training camp of a professional esports club, all of them gave up and dared not mention their dreams anymore, and obediently went back to school.

Three days to shatter my esports dream, sir, I'm just a scholar.

Therefore, there is no such thing as not being able to learn something; it's simply a matter of not using the right methods.

However, how many families truly understand education these days?

When Chen Jingle was tutoring Chen Qiyun in her studies, he was mostly observing.

Taking Chen Qiyun as an example, if you had children in the future, what kind of education should you use to raise them in the right direction?
As I was thinking, my mind started to wander.

Li Beixing was packing up to go home and wanted to greet him, but seeing him lost in thought, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Jingle snapped out of his reverie and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about how to properly educate my child in the future."

Li Beixing: "Huh?!"

Isn't this thinking a bit too far ahead?
Her face flushed instantly.

Chen Jingle smiled with narrowed eyes and quietly took her small hand.

Teacher Li turned her head away, not daring to look at him; her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

However, their fingers were held tightly, showing no sign of loosening.

Hehe~!

……

As for Hongqi, Chen Jingle plans to visit them when he has some free time.

He has recently read a lot of books on agronomy and has gained some insights, which allows him to make a small adjustment to his future development plan based on the current situation.

Another plan is to visit the construction site of the factory project.

The factories are built in accordance with the "Agricultural Product Quality Law", the "Food Safety Law", and standardized processes for environmental protection.

Environmental protection is now strictly enforced. Wastewater treatment, waste disposal, and noise control are all key aspects. You can't say that a primary processing plant in a rural area can be more lenient.

Although Hongqi is a major taxpayer in Jiangbei, and no one would deliberately make things difficult for it, Chen Jingle never pinned his hopes on others.

He had never been a project manager, but that's okay; you can learn by doing and do by learning.

No one is born knowing everything; everyone has to learn, just at different speeds.

He learns much faster than others.

Chen Jingle plans to learn about various aspects such as factory construction, machinery and equipment purchase and installation, just to gain some understanding.
